Wasson, also a chef instructor at North Seattle Community College, opened a home-based commercial catering company in the early 1980s so he could stay at home with his sons instead of working at a restaurant.

Chef Wasson agrees that cooking with kids can be messy and advises parents to teach kids to clean up as they go, a good rule to follow for anyone who cooks.

Wasson's wife, Pamela, recalls how her husband started teaching their two sons to cook in preschool while he was operating the home-based catering company.

Time Squad is an American animated television series created in 2001 by DavidWasson, following the adventures of a trio of hapless "time cops" from the year 100,000,000 AD, who travel back in time attempting to correct the course of history.

The show is set in the year 100,000,000 (one hundred million) AD, on a giant satellite which Earth orbits (due to the satellite being many times the size and mass of the Earth).

DavidWasson, the series creator, admits that Larry is a parody on Star Wars' C-3PO.

"David, stand up on the floor," was part of the customary routine; and when this was accompanied by the use of a large lexicon his situation was a truly amusing one.

Whatever might be said or done in the school without bringing condign punishment on his head David was sure to say or do; and his criticism of passing events and comments during recitations were quite as edifying as those of the instructor,--which is saying a good deal.

Wasson had many a hard argument with him on this point, and tried to show him that customs are the good logic of the human race: but it was too late.

With no apparent escape route, these executives must overcome their natural distrust and antipathy for each other if they're to survive.

But it's not easy, especially considering that one of them, Will (Keith Randolph Smith) has just been awarded the job of another, Dan (DavidWasson), who was informed of his firing by hatchet-woman Rachel (Claire Beckman).

With no food available, the characters' energy level is low, and this adds to the ominous sense of claustrophobia -- an atmosphere that becomes increasingly pervasive as the drama and tension build in tandem.
